Ugh, that's so frustrating. How is it that they can be innovative and backwards at the same time?!

Well, I'll say one good thing for Kaiser, they're quick to respond: "I have spoken to the Labor and Delivery Department and was advised that unfortunately bringing your own tub is not allowed. At this time we do not refer members to locations for alternative methods for giving birth since they are not covered under the Health Plan."<br />
<br />
So...where do we go from here...?

Good. Hopefully they can give good news and that sucks if they won't let tubs in.

It's very frustrating! I think it's all about liability. Plus they make more money with C sections! Good idea about sending an e-mail to member service.

Like Natalie said, we can labor mostly at home in water... at the very, very least. I'm feeling really discouraged about this, especially after the nurse's email to me. :/ I don't understand why they wouldn't allow it. Kaiser is all about preventative medicine and forward thinking...why are they lagging behind here???
